Land (Arterton) who is desperate to win his favor.
Toronto Film Festival has unveiled a line up of films that will be presented there this year and getting a world premiere in Toronto is ONE LIFE which tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London banker (Johnny Flynn) who, on the eve of World War II, saved 669 children from the Nazis – more than the number of children who survived the Holocaust in Czechoslovakia. With war fast approaching, Winton visited a recently annexed Prague and witnessed first-hand Jewish refugee families with little to no shelter and food. He immediately realized it was a race against time to see how many children he and his friends could rescue before time ran out. Fifty years later, in 1988, Winton (Anthony Hopkins) is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England. It’s not until a live television show “That’s Life” surprises him with the surviving children – now adults – seated all around him that he can finally make peace with the loss he had carried for five decades. Helena Bonham Carter plays Winton’s mother, with Jonathan Pryce, Lena Olin, Romola Garai and Alex Sharp also in the cast.
Well, it is certainly quite a cast: as Deadline reports, Derek Jacobi, Jason Isaacs, Rupert Everett, Rupert Graves, have joined Clara Rugaard, Jamie Ward, Rebel Wilson, in VERONA, Timothy Scott Bogart’s pop Romeo & Juliet musical, the the first film in an original pop musical trilogy based around the real-life 1301 story that inspired Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. A wide theatrical releaser this Christmas is being planned. Ferdia Walsh-Peelo and Dan Fogler are also starring in the film shooting in multiple castles across Italy.

The eight episode historical saga will start June 12th on Starz and Starzplay (their channel on Amazon Prime Video) globally.

WHAT DID THE SPY THINK?
Dull!
Dull is the word to describe this ghastly monotonous affair of a
series. Dull casting with dull uninspired lead actress with zero
charisma and a dull voice and looks set in dull costumes and sets to
which the dull art production and lighting give no shine nor splendour
leaving them even more dull. From dull writing and direction, the
dullness never ceases to leave this wretched show that does not deserve
any of your attention.
BBC'S FOLLOWING EVENTS ARE BASED ON A PACK OF LIES SERIES
BBC has announced a production on new five part unconventional dark and funny thriller series THE FOLLOWING EVENTS ARE BASED ON A PACK OF LIES. It is the story of two very different women and the conman they have in common; a dark, funny, and unpredictable thriller about three remarkable characters trapped in a tangled triangle of complexly layered half-

truths and lies of epic proportions. Cheryl (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) is a bestselling fantasy fiction author who, recently bereaved, now lives alone with her poodle, Goblin. Alice (Rebekah Staton) is a formidable PA, a mother, and a lifelong Madonna fan. Rob (Alistair Petrie) is an eccentric and celebrated ecopreneur (allegedly). Three apparent strangers with nothing in common... except Rob’s dupes, deceptions and delusions.
This is a story about lies and artifice, about our weakness for self-deception, and about the rapid ascent of the modern fraudster. Asking why do ‘respectable’ psychopaths rise to the top? Why does a posh man in a suit still seem so plausible next to a working-class mum in a pink cape? And if you can’t beat them, is joining them really so bad?
Above all, this is also the story of an unexpected friendship between two very different women and the power

they’ll discover when they raise their voices in joyous rage. As they finally find the courage and self-belief to take charge, the con is on to try and take a predator down.
Joining the trio are Romola Garai as Juno Fish, Alice’s boss and a prominent designer who is famous for her unique brand of idiosyncratic floral patterns and products, Derek Jacobi as Sir Ralph Unwin who may or may not be being scammed by Rob, Julian Barratt as Alice’s painfully predictable, deeply kind, magician husband Benjy, Karl Johnson as Bill, Alice’s father and confidant, and Ellie Haddington as Diane, Alice’s long suffering, insufferable mother.

THE RINGS OF POWER
CHARACTER POSTERS ARE HERE!
And since this will obviously be a day of massive epic treats, check out the mysterious (as in they don't really reveal the characters) and gorgeous character posters for LORD OF THE RINGS prequel television series THE RINGS OF POWER which will arrive to Amazon Prime with its first eight episode season September 2nd! The cast of the series inspired by Tolkien's work is massive and so is the number of these brand new posters. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone! The cast led by Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Owain Arthur, Maxim Baldry, Nazanin Boniadi, and Morfydd Clark as young Elven queen Galadriel will also include Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sir Lenny Henry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh, Joseph Mawle, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Dylan Smith, Charlie Vickers, Leon Wadham, Benjamin Walker, Daniel Weyman, and Sara Zwangobani. The shooting of the second season has already been granted over at Amazon.

Anson Mount, Rebecca Romjin, and Ethan Peck will be returning as Captain Pike, Number One, and Spock Celia Rose Gooding will play Uhura, Babs Olasanmokun will play Dr. M’Benga, and Jess Bush will play Christine Chapel; new characters on the bridge include Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas, and Bruce Horak as Hemmer. With other
